Clearing/Writing a daughter window ?

Show all headers | View raw

OK, my test HTA can now open and close daughter windows,
and can write to them.

But I want to clear and refill a daughter window, rather
than closing a daughter and opening a new one, which I
suspect of being slower.

The following code, as expected, puts both pages into
the one window, 3 following 2 (sections 2 & 3 differ
only in their digit).

Other than closing Wndw and opening another Wndw, is
there something that I can put as position X to restore
Wndw to the freshly-opened state?

Alternatively, is there a better way of loading sFileDat
into Wndw, maybe by assignment, so that any previous content
of Wndw is no longer there (and best, given explicitly
to the garbage collector)?

There will be a few hundred executions of opentextfile as
the script's attention roams from page to page.



// 1
Wndw = window.open("", "Y"+new Date().getTime(), "")

// 2
sSrcFile = "C:\\homepage\\zel-82px.htm"
oSrcFile = fso.opentextfile(sSrcFile, ForReading) 
sFileDat = oSrcFile.ReadAll()
oSrcFile.Close()

Wndw.document.writeln(sFileDat)

// X

// 3
sSrcFile = "C:\\homepage\\zel-83px.htm"
oSrcFile = fso.opentextfile(sSrcFile, ForReading) 
sFileDat = oSrcFile.ReadAll()
oSrcFile.Close()

Wndw.document.writeln(sFileDat)

// ...
